What Amazes Me How All The Talking Heads That Were Predicting Tr**p's Demise Today....... [View all]

have pivoted so fast and are now saying that all along the $464 bond was too high and it was to be expected that it would be reduced in Tr**p's favor.

Somehow these talking heads need to position themselves on both sides of the fence - so they save face and still keep their jobs as experts. Now we'll be able to watch them back-pedal on their previous predictions - so they could still look and sound like experts.

All along I was expecting that somehow Tr**p would survive this crisis and come up with some sort of Hail Mary solution for his problems.

They are saying that he still has a staggering burden on him - but somehow the wagons keep circling around this criminal and he squeaks by.

I'm still leaning on how he and the Repugs will somehow - cheat, lie and steal the election in Nov and Tr**p absolves himself of all of this.

The stakes are just so high for all sides in this - what I call a battle for the Democracy of our Country and accountability for Tr**p .
